SYNOPSYS

build_proxy [ options ] [ proxy options ] -- [ proxy files ]

Options:

    -h, --help      Display this help
    -H, --man       Longer manpage for build_proxy

DESCRIPTION

build_proxy is a simple wrapper around HTTP::Proxy::Builder. It lets you combine several proxies written using HTTP::Proxy and HTTP::Proxy::Builder into a single one. Each proxy program can still be used independently.

How to transform a program based on HTTP::Proxy

A proxy like the following:

    use HTTP::Proxy;
    use HTTP::Proxy:: ...;    # required filter modules

    my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new(@ARGV);
    $proxy->push_filter(...);
    $proxy->start();

Can be made usable by build_proxy by transforming it into this:

    use HTTP::Proxy::Builder;
    use HTTP::Proxy:: ...;    # required filter modules

    $proxy->push_filter(...);

Basically:

• replace use HTTP::Proxy by use HTTP::Proxy::Builder,
• remove calls to HTTP::Proxy->new(),
• remove calls to $rpxoy->start().
